WARNING! THIS ONE IS VERY SAD AND I CRIED WRITING IT!!! I'M SORRY!

"You are my sunshine my only sunshine, you make happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.." Emily sang quietly to her daughter. She kissed her head and whispered to her.

"I love you Alex." The five year old smiled and then it faded.

"Mommy, I miss daddy..." Emily sighed and pushed the young girl's hair behind her ear.

"I know baby, I miss him too but he's watching over us with the angels remember?" Alex nodded and Emily kissed her head once more.

"Go to sleep baby girl, we've got a long day tomorrow." She then got up and turned the light off and walked to her room, not allowing the tears to fall until she had closed the door.

A Week Before

"This guy isnt going to give up without a fight. Everyone stay partnered up and no one is by themselves. Ever." Aaron spoke to the police department in Boston. Soon they ended the brief meeting to to catch their unsub who had been previously identified as Jeremy Hutchins. Emily had stopped him in the hallway and no words were exchanged for a moment. They just hugged before Emily finally spoke up.

"Be careful please." He chuckled earning a glare from Emily.

"Arent I always?" He smiled. She ran her hands over his shirt, feeling his scars from Foyet through the soft material.

"Not always. Just promise me you'll be careful." He kissed her forehead.

"I promise. But if I don't make it-" She cut him off.

"No. No talking like that. No telling me to tell Alex you love her. No telling me you love me because you might not make it to ever say it again. No." He sighs and kisses her head once more.

"I love you, jack and Alex. I'm gonna make it Em, I promise. I always do"

End Of Flashback.

Tears were streaming out of her eyes by now.

"You bastard," She whispered, "You promised..." She crawled in bed and cried herself to sleep, not wanting to face tomorrow.

The Next Day

"Alex, baby, I know you don't want to get up and do this but you have to. Please. For daddy." Emily talked to the resistant child. Jennifer walked to the door frame.

"Em, you go get dressed. I got this." Emily sighed and got up. When she walked out, her blonde friend rubbed her arm a bit. She didn't want to do this, bury the love of her life, she didn't. But she had to.

An hour and a tissue box later

Emily sighs and get out of the car at the funeral home, holding her daughter in her arms and her step son following close behind. Everyone said a little something about him like how good of an agent or dad he was. Soon it was Emily's turn. She sighed and walked to the podium. She cleared her throat and then started.

"Seven years ago I met Aaron Hotchner. He was as stubborn as they come but he was an amazing father, an outstanding agent, and the best husband. I remember when I was pregnant with our daughter, Alex who is now five, we argued over work. He insisted that I would be taken out of the field and put on desk duty five minutes after I told him I was pregnant. I hate desk duty with a passion but he was just trying to protect me. That's exactly what he was trying to do in Boston when we lost him. Trying to protect me. The Unsub stood in front of us, pointing a gun at a young woman's head when suddenly he pointed it at me and in seconds flat, Aaron jumped in front of that bullet. He is my hero. He's saved my ass more times than I can count. He was a pure hard ass at work but he was completely different at home. At home, he would put pancake batter on my nose, play football in the backyard with Jack, one time he even sat down, put on a crown and had a tea party with Alex and Mr Bear, her favorite stuffed animal. He was a good man who will be dearly missed by a load of people. Thank you all for com-" her voice cracked and her speech was interrupted by a silent sob but it didn't stop her. She cleared her throat and began again. "thank you all for coming. I know he would've loved it." She steps down and gets her children and walks to the casket that holds the lifeless body that used to be her husband. They lay white roses down then Emily bends down to kiss the casket, whispering quietly, "I love you."
